Confined to Barracks

Both Tracey and I got ill last night. I’ll spare the gorey details, but suffice to say that we had to be visited by a nurse from the Medical Centre, to administer a few meds and take a history of our culinary activities over the previous few days. According to the nurse, we are an isolated case, so it’s origin...

FUNCHAL, MADEIRA

Today, we visited our final port; Funchal, in Madeira. Our cunning plan was to take the cable car up to Monte and explore some of the footpaths beyond the church. Since we expected to be out most of the day (all-aboard time was 4:30pm), we made a pack-up at breakfast. I had a bacon roll, Tracey had banana bread, and...
